PIVOT-ARM OPERATION
See pictures at right. The FR601 Clinical Care Recliner features
two pivot-arms. The pivot-arms make cleaning the recliner
much easier and more efficient. The pivot-arms are hinged at
the back of the recliner.
WARNING: The pivot-arm Feature is a CAREGIVER
OPERATED FEATURE. A patient MUST NOT attempt
operation of the pivot-arms while seated in the recliner.
Open the Pivot-Arm
WARNING: The caregiver must be positioned on either
the left or right side of the recliner, directly in front of the
pivot-arm to be operated; do not operate the pivot-arm
from front or rear of recliner.
1. Step down on the YELLOW RELEASE LEVER, located
toward the front of the recliner as shown at upper right, to
unlock the pivot-arm on that side.
2. Gently open up the pivot-arm, as shown at lower right, to
the desired degree.
3. Once maintenance or cleaning is complete, return the arm
to the locked position.
Close the Pivot-Arm:
WARNING: The caregiver must be positioned on either
the left or right side of the recliner, directly in front of the
pivot-arm to be operated; do not operate the pivot-arm
from front or rear of recliner.
1. Pivot the Arm back toward the front of the recliner until
the pivot-arm stops. Step down on the YELLOW RELEASE
LEVER, located toward the front of the recliner. Continue
to push the pivot-arm over the locking pin and then step
off of the YELLOW RELEASE LEVER, thereby engaging the
locking pin in the arm latch.
2. Pull outward on the arm to ensure the arm is properly locked before use of the recliner.
WARNING: Recliners have moving parts that create potential pinch points. When the
pivot-arms are open, those points are exposed. DO NOT leave patients in the recliner
unattended with the pivot-arms in the open position. DO NOT leave the recliner
unattended or reclined with the pivot-arms in the unlocked, open position. DO NOT
transport a patient in the recliner with the pivot-arms in the unlocked, open position.
WARNING: The pivot-arm MUST NOT be used as a patient or caregiver support while
open. The recliner may tip and become unstable if weight is placed on the pivot-arm
when in the open position.
s
CAUTION: When opening the pivot-arms, ensure there is nothing in the way of the
pivoting arm. Damage to the vinyl upholstery may result if the pivot-arm impacts any
object. The pivot-arms are best operated when the recliner is in the upright position.
